Recently, several Centers around the world concluded their post-Summer Festival retreats 2024. Join us as we view the highlights from these gatherings.
The Gateway to the Highest Yoga Tantra is open to all, at the NKT-IKBU INTERNATIONAL FALL FESTIVAL 2024 to be held at the Third Kadampa World Peace Temple.
The conclusion of the 2024 Summer Festival offers us an opportunity to reflect on this truly inspiring event.
It was a wonderful International Kadampa Festival this summer, where we enjoyed a union of deep wisdom, kind hearts, and inner enjoyment. Revisit the Festival with videos that capture the many aspects of this special event.
The three International Festivals are precious opportunities to receive teachings and empowerments from the Gen-las, and this experience is greatly enhanced if we can spend some time after the Festival in retreat improving our understanding of the teachings and taking their meaning to heart. Kadampa centers worldwide organize post-festival retreats after each of the three International Festivals. See the retreats following the 2024 Fall Festival.
The Temple is once again full for a final morning of heartfelt prayers, requests and dedications as we engage in an extremely auspicious practice of Offering to the Spiritual Guide. It is a beautiful and fitting conclusion to what has been an extraordinary Festival.
It’s the last full day of the Festival and we conclude with three more sessions of retreat, keeping our minds in such a blessed and peaceful state and looking forward to the play of The Life of Buddha.The Temple is packed and it’s an incredible atmosphere, as the lights go down and we are all together watching this special, holy play on a giant screen.
The peace of the Festival is indescribable. It feels so powerful to meditate as a great assembly of practitioners at the culmination of this Festival. Step by step, session by session, we have the experience of collectively holding our minds on pure objects. The Kadampa Temple becomes so quiet, even though we are a huge assembly of people. It is harmonious on a deep, subtle, heart level as we meditate together for long periods of time in silence.
